BATH


This page is about some STREETLIGHTING in BATH in SOMERSET .

YEAR 1980

When I went to BATH for the first time in this year , I noticed all the lamp posts are painted black . This is the same colour as in BRISTOL and WESTON SUPER MARE for their lamp posts .

 YEAR 1990s

 In the city centre there is a lot of post top CU PHOSCO P109 lanterns on walls and on posts and there are some post top CU PHOSCO P111 lanterns as well.

 YEAR 2002

 I found some 5M metal posts with swan neck brackets . On these posts are top entry REVO LUCIDOR B lantern ( less gear ,35W SOX ) and the road name is RUSSELL STREET .

 I think this 10M post and lantern was made by REVO and in the lantern is a SON bulb . There is a lot of these lanterns in the city centre mounted on the walls.

I only seen this lantern in BATH only and I have not seen it anywhere else.

 This is along PIERREPONT STREET ( A3039 ) and this was taken in Year Oct 2002 .

This lantern was made by WATERS LIGHTING . This lantern has got a SON-T bulb with a reflector .

On this lantern there is a name plate on the bottom of it and it says ( MADE IN ENGLAND BY WATERS LIGHTING and their telephone and fax number and a serial number of this lantern ) . On this as well is a date when this lantern was made and I think this was made in 1996 .

I seen this lantern in another town and it is in BURY ST EDMUNDS.


 

 

This is next to the BATH ABBEY ( ABBEY CHURCH YARD ) and it is near YORK STREET in the city centre and this was taken in Year Oct 2002  .

In the ABBEY CHURCH YARD all the old lanterns were replaced with new lanterns in the 90s and there is about 6 of them . In these new lanterns have got big white round bulbs in them and they give out white light . Its looks like these bulbs are PHILIPS QL bulbs.
